HR/payroll and workforce management solution provider Presence of IT (PoIT) has appointed former SuccessFactors practice director Louise Griffin to lead its new Workforce Analytics and Planning competency within its People practice.
PoIT’s People practice, which was launched in September, helps clients build their HR strategy and extract the greatest value from their investments in cloud HCM platforms.
Deloitte’s 2015 survey on Global Human Capital Trends has shown that businesses that build capabilities in analytics outperform their peers in quality of hire, retention and leadership capabilities, and are generally higher ranked in their employment brand.
“It is becoming increasingly important for companies to use data analytics to achieve competitive advantage,” said Enid Hughes, lead of PoIT’s People practice. “People analytics and data-driven HR, however, still presents one of the largest capability gaps for organisations. Many experience poor data quality and lack of skills.”
Hughes said this is where the People practice can assist, by helping clients through training and business strategy consulting to ensure they maximise the value of their technology investment.
As well as her stint with SuccessFactors, Griffin has also worked at Inform, leading consulting engagement for strategic HCM reporting, analytics and workforce planning, as well as establishing the business in global markets.
“As businesses race to gain a competitive advantage by understanding all the elements of the workforce, it’s becoming increasingly important to offer business consulting services around the technology solutions being deployed. I am looking forward to joining the People practice team,” Griffin said.
